2024 - 25 promises to be a year of adventure and growth in many ways. Spiritually, we will set our community, our country and our world on fire with that "Crazy Americano" attitude we are known for worldwide: relentless energy, service to all and deepening our individual lives through unique and innovative ministry.
OUR SUMMERS WILL BE BUSY, ADVENTUROUS, AND LIFE CHANGING! Beginning with our World Youth Day Trip to Portugal in 2023 and ending with our World Youth Day Trip to South Korea in 2027, this 5 year span will be EPIC as we share our one-of-a-kind frenzied faith with the whole of our country and world!

This coming summer we will travel to Rome, Italy to attend mass with the Pope and 1.5 million other Catholic youth from all around the world!
We THANK YOU for your support and for keeping us in your prayers!
If you feel called to sponsor our upcoming events, contact Michael Novak.
As you see above, we are Metro United. We have 12 pilgrims from St. Lawrence, 9 pilgrims from JWJ (St. Jane/St. Rene) and 2 pilgrims from Our Lady Star of the Sea going on the 2025 pilgrimage. This will be my 8th WYD as a youth leader, my son's second as a youth leader, but 3rd overall. This picture is of our group in Portugal for WYD 2023. Many of the pilgrims traveling with our group in 2025 will be experiencing WYD for the first time. A few went to PortugaI. I cannot wait to see how our faith is ignited! Here is a little bit about our trip...
